"Clearly, some creative thinking is badly needed if humans are to have a future beyond Earth. Returning to the Moon may be worthy and attainable, but it fails to capture the public's imagination. What does get people excited is the prospect of a mission to Mars."

Paul Davies on Imagination

More quotes about Imagination

  • "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

    Albert Einstein on Imagination

  • "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

    Dr. Seuss on Imagination

  • "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

    Albert Einstein on Imagination

  • "I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty."

    Albert Einstein on Imagination

  • "Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?"

    Sun Tzu on Imagination

More quotes by Paul Davies

  • "The way life manages information involves a logical structure that differs fundamentally from mere complex chemistry. Therefore chemistry alone will not explain life's origin, any more than a study of silicon, copper and plastic will explain how a computer can execute a program."

  • "Perhaps the best motivation for going to Mars is political. It is obvious that no single nation currently has either the will or the resources to do it alone, but a consortium of nations and space agencies could achieve it within 20 years."

  • "Should we find a second form of life right here on our doorstep, we could be confident that life is a truly cosmic phenomenon. If so, there may well be sentient beings somewhere in the galaxy wondering, as do we, if they are not alone in the universe."

  • "Man-made computers are limited in their performance by finite processing speed and memory. So, too, the cosmic computer is limited in power by its age and the finite speed of light."

  • "Science, we are repeatedly told, is the most reliable form of knowledge about the world because it is based on testable hypotheses. Religion, by contrast, is based on faith. The term 'doubting Thomas' well illustrates the difference."
